We&#39;ve found whole houses to rent for the same price as a single hotel room in the same area. It&#39;s such a money-saver to have a kitchen; it&#39;s so much easier just to make your own stuff. I like going out to eat, but it&#39;s not always practical. My tips are to find local grocery stores beforehand and figure out the types of things you want to eat. I don&#39;t know the length of your trip, but it usually wasn&#39;t worth it to buy a whole bottle of, say, olive oil, so I&#39;d bring a small bottle with me, or baggies of seasonings I use often. Some homes are stocked with staples, others aren&#39;t. We&#39;re going to Maui in May, and groceries are very expensive there, so I&#39;m going to pack at least pasta and peanut butter in my luggage to save some cash. Hope this helps - you&#39;re going to have a wonderful trip!Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11207462208542459619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6160219837553807351.post-67858644993277411492012-02-21T14:02:34.259-04:002012-02-21T14:02:34.259-04:00We are 100 per cent apartment rental peeps when tr...We are 100 per cent apartment rental peeps when traveling. I find, for me at least, it&#39;s a lot easier because of the kitchen aspect, and with my diabetes, it&#39;s hard to eat out ALL the time. So the apartments give us the opportunity to have some meals at home... and I also like that you&#39;re not on anyone else&#39;s schedule when in an apartment – it feels more homely; like you&#39;re part of the culture. <br /><br />Your thai red lentil soup looks really good... would love the recipe!Katie @ www.princessofpavement.wordpress.comhttp://www.princessofpavement.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6160219837553807351.post-81253135387324928182012-02-20T13:56:01.863-04:002012-02-20T13:56:01.863-04:00Maria..When I went to France happycow was a life s...Maria..When I went to France happycow was a life saver!

I think...<br />We went to Ireland with a 3 year old and a 10 month old. It was fairly easy since the little one was still nursing and the 3 year old was still small enough to carry everywhere!<br />xoxoCrooked Moon Mamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08241093683989459876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6160219837553807351.post-74338960793059660092012-02-20T00:14:05.595-04:002012-02-20T00:14:05.595-04:00Hi!
